I need location data written to exif when the picture is taken.

I have wmu on my phone the hindrance is that the location data gets written at time of download the location is where you are at that moment not where you were standing when you took the image. I am photodocumenting naturally occurring biodiversity and need an accurate gps location to be written when i take the picture. Is there a good way to accomplish this?

Nikon made a solution but it's long out of production.

Try to search the normal used gear retailers such as MPB or KEH for a GP-1.

I've looked, KEH has 1 unit, but you would need to confirm the connecting cable. When new there were 2 cords included needed for most Nikon cameras. Your D7200 will use the small rectangular connector and not the round connector. Several ebay listings I see are only including 1 cable, and often it is the round connector. There is at least 1 aftermarket product out there also.

I have been using a di-GPS Eco Prosumer m, mounted on my camera. No cables, just a connector on the side of the camera. It works fine, however it's not always that exact in urban areas between buildings, it can differ up to 100 m. Before it finds the position, it can report the North Pole.
It can take some time to find a new location or if it not been used for a time, it has to get some satellite data to figure it out. There's a little green LED on it that flashes when searching that becomes solid green when the position is established.
It uses the camera's battery, no battery inside the di-GPS. Be careful not to put the camera down, leaning on the di-GPS on the left side, or you can break the circuit board inside the camera.
But once you comes with terms with the small glitches it works fine, I have used mine for over 10 years, on my D7000/7200/Z6/Z6iii, latest on my trip to south-east Asia. The position can be seen on Google Earth, via Lightroom.
